Use a British Challenger tank to heat your water instead

Americans who drink tea generally use a stovetop kettle. Sometimes they use an electric one. But what does it matter how the water gets hot, if the water's hot? Microwave radiation doesn't leave a taste in water or something

Boiling it with some kind of kettle can make minerals drop out of solution, but I really doubt it would make a significant taste difference unless the kettle is attached to copper piping leading to a catch basin (aka a still).

What if it turns out that Bri'ish people just use pure lead kettles.

I have been drinking a lot of tea because I had a persistent cough. I use the microwave because it's faster than boiling my kettle.
